The Implant-Supported Dentures Process

The implant-supported dentures process typically involves multiple appointments over several months. The process begins with a consultation with one of our experienced dental team members. During the consultation, we’ll evaluate your teeth and determine if implant-supported dentures are your best treatment option.

If we determine that implant-supported dentures fit you, we’ll place the dental implants into your jawbone. Once the implants have been identified, you’ll be given time to heal and allow the implants to fuse with your jawbone. This process is called osseointegration and typically takes three to six months.

After the implants have fused with your jawbone, we’ll take impressions of your mouth to create custom dentures. The dentures will be designed to fit securely onto the dental implants and will be adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer several benefits over traditional dentures. One of the most significant benefits is that implant-supported dentures are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Unlike conventional dentures, which may need to be replaced or repaired over time, implant-supported dentures can last a lifetime with proper care.

Implant-supported dentures also offer a more stable and secure fit than traditional dentures. In addition, dental implants serve as a foundation for the dentures, preventing movement while eating, speaking, or smiling.

Implant-supported dentures also help preserve your oral health. When you lose several teeth or an entire arch of teeth, the surrounding teeth can shift, causing alignment issues and potential gum disease. Implant-supported dentures help maintain the integrity of your existing teeth and prevent further oral health issues.

Is Implant-Supported Denture Treatment Right for You?

Implant-supported dentures are an excellent option for many people, but they may only be suitable for some. If you have a severe dental or medical condition, such as gum disease or diabetes, you may not be a candidate for implant-supported dentures.

Additionally, implant-supported denture treatment requires a high commitment level to succeed. Therefore, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene and to schedule regular dental appointments to ensure the longevity of dental implants and dentures.
